  • The stairs should always be one less tread than riseers. The last riser is at the finished floor height.

  • Thanks for the info! Great vid!

  • These steps will be a danger in 5 years. You pretty much are walking up a support base of a 2X5. If he would have taken the time to cut rabbit grooves in it and slid the steps in then maybe it would hold for 25-30 years if properly treated and sealed. As it is, he's exposed a lot of end grain that was bought and paid for by using such wide wood and weakened it completely by cutting out notches. What a waste and misuse of material.

  • i cant belive how easy you made this look . thank you

  • you are great at explaining how to do it thanks

  • I used to be a contractor and I now teach Construction Technology to high school students and your video really helped me brush up on cutting stair stringers. Thanks.

  • Thank You Sir!

    

  • Excellent teaching 'presence', content and delivery. Maybe begin presentation by defining terminology. If I wasn't a beginner I wouldn't be watching and words like 'rise', stringer, run... are new.

    Nevertheless, a great teaching video and I'm going to do my own stairs. Thank you.

  • Thanks. A well organised and thought out video. Wayne is very clear and a good teacher. Easy to follow.

  • great video but it makes me cringe when americans say 2x4 when its clearly 4x2
